In short: We're…read morefirst time sellers. We just worked with Bobby on a difficult property for about 6 months. As the property was just sold, I've already recommended Bobby to friends and family. I recommend him to you as well. What you'll get from Bobby Brown is a realtor with all the smarts of an inspector, the gut instinct of an appraiser, the detail-orientation of a plumber, and the labor intensity of a landscaper. He's always ahead of the game, suggesting easy fixes to future problems that you don't even know about. 10/10, 5 stars, 2 enthusiastic thumbs up. Bobby is the best. Our longer story: My family inherited a trust fund which was invested in a home in Bonney Lake, WA. Almost as soon as the house came into our name, the septic system fell apart. At this point, we called Bobby and let him know that we were looking to sell, but weren't sure where to start. We were unsure of how to move forward because we live in Spokane and the house is on the west side. Immediately, Bobby recommended a septic company to work with (Flohawks) which led to a string of excellent companies along the way (Vac-Tec installers and Ric Wilkerson to name a couple). As we learned more about our failing system, the price was rising by the 10,000's. In total, it ended costing around $40,000. Feel free to skip this paragraph, but here's a story from the install that I think shows Bobby's care and integrity for our family. Once the system was finally installed, Bobby came by and made sure that everything was working. Immediately, we realized that the main water was busted. I was actually afraid to call around to figure who did it, but Bobby made the calls with me and we got to the bottom of the situation. I would literally call someone, put them on hold, ask Bobby what I should say, then say that. Call after call, companies denied that this was their fault and I was getting pretty nervous. Eventually, we figured out who did it, they owned their mistake, then fixed it free of charge. Kind of a weird story, but I thought that it was SO cool that Bobby was willing to make those calls with me and finalize the system. For me, that went above-and-beyond what anyone could ever expect of their realtor. Throughout the rest of the process, Bobby always worked with us personally, rather than sending someone to represent him. He helped us haul away 1,300 pounds of trash left by our previous tenants (see pictures), fix a number of small inspection points (again, we live on the other side of the state, so he just volunteered for this), conduct 4 different open houses, and was friendly 100% of the time. At every interaction, I felt that Bobby was setting the standard for all other realtors. He's hard-working, value-driven, personable, smart, punctual, and always answers his phone. We believe that he listed our house for the perfect price and did an outstanding job of keeping us in the loop (again, we're across the state). I wish that we lived closer so that we could refer Bobby to more people, but know this: you will be so glad that you went with him and his team. They're a breath of fresh air and give you a sense of peace about a very stressful process. Bobby, you're the man!

We know we can reach out and get our questions answered about the real estate market even if we aren't going to be buying or selling at that moment. There's never any sales pressure with her. When we sold our condo in downtown Tacoma to get a single family home in Central Tacoma, Marguerite advised us as we prepared. Then, when the time was right, she connected us with an amazing local agent. Eventually we bought the house next door directly from our neighbor. Even though there was no commission in it for her, Marguerite was always happy to make recommendations, advocate for us, and provide vendor recommendations for inspections and repairs. The service Marguerite provides is really unique. We love her realness and honesty as well as her real estate expertise, and we know she will always give us great service and advice. We highly, highly recommend her!

When my fiancé and I first contacted Liz, it was primarily to see if we would qualify to purchase a…read morespecific property we had our eye on that was on the market. After our initial conversation with her, we didn't expect to move forward with the home buying process so soon, but we did. I remember telling my fiancé right after we ended our conversation with Liz that I wanted her to be our agent. I truly appreciated how people centered, passionate, and incredibly knowledgeable she is about the process. She made us feel completely comfortable asking questions and helped us clearly understand what the home buying journey would look like. Liz never made us feel rushed or pressured into anything. She truly respected our pace and guided us with patience and understanding every step of the way. Since my finance and I currently live in Los Angeles, Liz took her time to tour several homes that we were interested in. All of the videos she sent to us were extremely thorough and informative which made our process easier. It felt like we were actually there although we were miles away. We really appreciate Liz for taking the time to record and share the tours with us while giving us her opinion on things that stood out to her that were concerning. This is something we would not have been able to pick up on since we were not present. Liz really listened to what we were looking for in a home and she delivered. We cannot recommend her enough! She is truly an AMAZING agent to work with. We're beyond thankful for Liz and The Porchlight Group. If we ever decide to buy another home in the future, we are absolutely going back to her! IN LIZ WE TRUST!!

I searched Realtors and started to read reviews. After reading several reviews I knew I wanted to go with a smaller vs. a bigger company (where they might hand you off to whoever or you get lost in the shuffle). SOOOOO glad I went with Liz! I really believe that things happen for a reason and people come into your life for a reason. From the first time I spoke to her she had a great energy and vibe and I knew she was going to be a hustler. I was already impressed from the get go! In the beginning I explained what my husband and I were looking for, (which I thought were pretty strange requests criteria...because this condo was going to be used for our employee, it needed to be within a certain proximity, near the airport and within our budget). Liz just rolled with it and got on it. I think it was that night or the next we were already Facetiming a property we were interested in...that's how quickly she was on it! BTW she gives great video commentary and is thorough and honest with her review of the places. Not being there and actually seeing something in person for such a large purchase is kind of scary, but it truly was a great experience that I wasn't expecting. She listened and cared about our opinions and was never pushy. So right now the market is CRAZY!! We put in about 3-4 offers starting in February and kept getting outbid by cash offers and waiving everything. Finally we found something that was perfect for us and had keys and were moving in on April 8! We got to do a little fixer upping (Liz helped with finding a contractor) and was able to pick out flooring, paint and light fixtures, to our liking, all for asking price (seller was throwing in some $). BEYOND impressed with Liz and her team! From start to finish and all throughout the process Liz always kept in touch and updated with what was going on. Almost daily emails with new listings or possible places then following up with which ones we were interested in seeing. She was ON TOP of it! Not sure how she keeps it all straight because you will feel as if you are her only client (which I know we weren't), with how dedicated and on top of it she is. She was very knowledgeable, patient, kind, generous and helpful in SO MANY WAYS! You will NOT regret choosing her and her team to buy or sell your home! Just give her a call and she will get right on it...because she can't help it and truly loves what she does, and also loves to work! lol
